Whether you are an individual running a small open source project,
a group of developers with a few projects or a large organization running
your own repository manager publishing open source components - we can
help you with publishing them to the Central Repository and
provides the benefits of the Central Repository
to your users.

Individual Projects - Open Source Software Repository Hosting (OSSRH)

Sonatype's Open Source Software Repository Hosting (OSSRH) service is
the primary avenue for project owners and contributors to publish
their components to the Central Repository. It is a hosted
deployment of Sonatype Nexus Professional with the
Nexus Staging Suite
used for the deployment process and validation, combined with a sync
process to the Central Repository content delivery network.

Large Organizations/Forges - Repository Sync

Organizations running their own repository manager can have their
components published to Central without using OSSRH.

Why Synchronize Your Forge to the Central Repository?

Running your own repository manager as part of your software development tool
chain allows you to keep control. Combining it with a synchronization to the
Central Repository gives your users easy access to your components and provides
the benefits of the Central Repository to them.
